Coffee table not quite right term but can't think of a better off the cuff.
Looking for RV & camping books, not guides or how-to, but books that you can pick up & put down, start & stop reading on any page.
Got what I could find at Amazon: Camper & RV Humor, Trailerama, Peculiar Place of the RV in American Culture. What else is available? Doesn't need to be new purchase, I've no problem buying good comdition used books.

I like location specific books from our favorite destinations. I'd suggest a particular photographer journalist for Alaska- Michio Hoshino

The Ride of Our Lives by Mike Leonard ($17 new, $4 or so on ebay) is the story of a former NBC producer who bought an RV and piled his family plus elderly parents into it for a ride across the US. It's has several emotions from humor to eyes tearing up. Probably not worth the new price but definitely worth the used dollars.

May I recommend an App for your Android (and possibly IOS) device SimplyE
You create a profile (At the library of New York) you are supposed to need a Library card but. It did not ask me (I have 2 or 3 such cards)
Also if you like science fiction www.baen.com/library Or google baen free library.
Also if you have the kindle app. they have a ton of free books.. A couple summers ago my Internet time was not as great as it is now and I was going through a Cozy Mystery a day.. (Yup I do not so much ead books as Devoure them )
I've done a lot of reading in my day.. Used to return paper back books to the library by the boxfull.. you buy the books, Read 'em Box 'em add a pre-addressed post card and it comes back with a count.. Mine was usually 99.
I vauled them at a buck a used book for tax donation purposes (Likely undervalued) I'd do this at least once a year.
Home is where I park it.

If your a nostalgia buff, Camping in the Old Style by David Wescott is a good read. This book was on a coffee table at one of the RV parks and I couldn't put it down. With chapters like "Under the canvas" etc. It's how they did it before nylon sleeping bags and our modern RV's.
